836 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, Adapter, Schedule 80, 4 Socket x NPT Male

This Spears 836 series schedule 80 PVC adapter is designed with a socket opening on one end and male NPT threads on the other, making it suitable for connecting pipes or fittings with different end types. The socket end is ideal for connecting to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal compared to straight threads. Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this adapter offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for use in chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Transition fittings can be used to connect PVC to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron. The adapter has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance. It is also certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 80 PVC adapter is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the specific application and its impact on material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, and come in a wide range of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
